Syringe/needle handling question

[joe8386]

Hey, I'm on a 10-week cycle of test-e , 250mg twice a week. I have used my current 10ml vial once. Yesterday I was prepping for second injection doing all safe/sanitary practices. But Instead of waiting until i had plenty of time I was in a rush. I did everything correctly except wipe the top of the vial before filling the syringe. Its only been used once before and was handled carefully with washed hands and stored in a closed box. I switched to the injection needle and expelled air then put the cap back on. Its been stored in a cool dark place. Do you think this will be okay to inject today or should i just waste it and start fresh, or maybe just switch to a new needle. Thanks in advance for the advice.

its fine to inject

Thankyou I thought so but figured I'd get a second opinion

For future use, try to get into a habit of wiping the top of the vial/rubber stopper with alcohol prior to inserting your draw needle. It never hurts to be extra safe when trying to avoid infection, no matter how remote the chance may be.

Use a new needle every time to draw up the med and tho inject they come in sterile packages when you open them and use them they become contaminated and then people wonder why they get a site infection, So please use a new needle to draw and inject, I'm saying this because it sounds like you used the same needle to draw twice.

I should of been more clear . After drawing I put a new needle on but it's was open to the air for a very short time then I capped it and stored it to inject today
